Farah Airport (IATA: FAH, ICAO: OAFR) is a public and military airport located in Farah, Afghanistan. It is operated by the country's Ministry of Transport and Civil Aviation and serves mainly the population of Farah Province. The airport currently provides domestic flight services to several cities but may include international flights sometime in the future.[3][4]
Farah Airport was used for military purposes in the past by the United States Armed Forces and the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), including the Afghan Air Force (AAF).[5] The United States Army Corps of Engineers has developed and expanded the airport in the last decade, with new facilities added for the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).
